Office 365 Overview(What the RIM / IG Professional Needs to Know) Laurie Fischer, CRM, CIPM February 21, 2019
Agenda • Today’s Information Management Challenges • Overview of O365 • Primary Content Management Elements • Security + Compliance Center
Yesterday / Today • Email and shared drives are used for collaboration and sharing • End-users store unstructured content on shared drives and in email systems • Email and shared drives were never meant to be recordkeeping systems • Lack of records management functionality for retention, disposition, preservation, shared access, etc. • No distinction between business records and redundant, obsolete or trivial information • This has resulted in: • Unencumbered growth of information • A huge unorganized mess!
Today / Tomorrow • Office 365 provides much improved methods for collaboration • Natively, still not a recordkeeping system • With volumes increasing and more / larger file types and sizes, the data proliferation challenge of today will be magnified multi-fold in the future • Many more places to create and retain files and documents in O365
Issues / Risks • Without proper guidance and governance within O365, the lack of content controls and mismanagement will continue • Due to the familiarity and supposed simplicity of a solution such as O365 (Exchange, SharePoint, etc.), IT often “introduces” O365 simply as an upgrade • Office 365 is an enterprise solution and should be treated as such • Treat every application within O365 as a stand-alone enterprise solution and force it through the same rigors ( i.e. the SDLC process and in-depth reviews from security, privacy and compliance) that are required for other applications • Establish appropriate governance for both the technical implementation and the content management aspect of the O365 ecosystem
Critical Success Factor:Content Placement Strategy • Ensures that the right tool is being used for the right job • Includes integrating existing solutions (such as DM / ECM) to leverage higher-level records management functionality • Guidance / best practices / requirements for what type of content should be stored in which O365 solution so that it can be managed through its lifecycle efficiently and effectively
Content Placement Strategy Guidelines • Takes each application’s strengths and weaknesses into consideration • Defines the type of content that can be stored in each application • Must consider the need to move content between repositories as the content changes over time (e.g. migrating records from email to a more appropriate recordkeeping system such as SharePoint)
Content Placement Elements O365 Overview
Enterprise License Options Clients + Online + BI + Governance Clients OD4B Online Only Clients + Online
Office Applications • As a subscription service, O365 also offers the latest versions of the common Office desktop applications.
Key Content Management Elements • Content Storage and Management • Primary Applications • Exchange Online • OneDrive for Business • SharePoint Online • Can provide content storage and management according to the organization’s policies for retention, disposition, preservation, protection, etc. • SharePoint is the primary location for all O365 content
Content Governance • Security & Compliance Center • Primary tool for protecting and controlling an organization’s data • Manages compliance for data across the Office 365 ecosystem • Enables content retention (automatic or user driven) using O365 Retention Labels • Manages eDiscovery searches and holds • Allows for auditing and metrics
O365 Retention Labels • Allows simple, cross-service tagging to flag documents, to declare as a record, or for other actions such as DLP • Applying a label, such as “Invoice”, can trigger retention by create date, modified date or date the label was applied • Can be used across applications such as Exchange email, Office 365 groups, OneDrive and SharePoint or specific services and locations
O365 eDiscovery • O365’s eDiscovery functionality searches for relevant content in Exchange Online mailboxes, Groups, Teams, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business sites, and Skype conversations • eDiscovery cases in the Security & Compliance Center can be used to identify, hold, and export content found in mailboxes and sites • With the E5 subscription, an organization can further analyze content using Office 365 Advanced eDiscovery
Exchange • What is it? • It’s email, but also: • Calendars • Contacts • Scheduling • Notes • Tasks
Exchange • How is it used? • Outlook • Employee/group mailboxes and calendars • Store and sync contacts and notes • Repository for documents and CYA • Trends: • Decreased usage of: • Email as an ad-hoc workflow system • Email as the sole communication tool • File collaboration via email attachments
OneDrive for Business • What is it? • Microsoft’s answer to Box, Dropbox, etc. • Replacement for personal drives • Unlimited Storage for E3 + E5 licenses
OneDrive for Business • What does it do? • Enterprise File Sync and Share • Synchronization of files between the desktop and the cloud (OneDrive files/folders and SharePoint Libraries) • Easy sharing of documents and folders • Single-source collaboration, co-authoring
OneDrive for Business • Trends: • Replacement of file shares, especially personal drives • Fastest growing storage solution • Reduction of unauthorized installs of EFSS software • “Shadow IT”
SharePoint • What is it? • Share and manage content, knowledge, and applications to empower teamwork, quickly find information, and seamlessly collaborate across the organization. - Microsoft
SharePoint • What else does it do? • WCM: Intranet, public websites • Enterprise social network • Collaboration • Search • Workflow • Forms • Content Sharing • A platform: custom applications • ECM / DM / Content Management • Libraries • Versioning • Content Types • Metadata • Security • Workflow • Search
Skype for Business • What is it? • Instant messaging • Audio and video calling • Online meetings • Web conferencing capabilities
Groups • What is it? • Think of it as a group of O365 applications setup around a group of people: • Shared Inbox • Shared Calendar • SharePoint Document Library • Shared OneNote Notebook • SharePoint Team Site • Planner • Easy provisioning = Sprawl and Oversharing
Teams • What does it do? • Chat-based workspace leveraged by employees and teams who are looking to collaborate in real-time with the same group of people • Hub for collaboration • Brings together the capabilities of Office 365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, OneNote, etc.) • Trends: • Rapid Adoption • Replacing email as the primary form of communication
Planner • What is it? • Project management light solution • Used for medium-weight project planning • Easy learning curve for new users • Visual task board to update assignments or status via drag and drop
Yammer • What does it do? • Acts as an internal social network • Discussion teams can set up meeting appointments using Outlook, switch to a full-fledged Skype video meeting, and access OneDrive to create shared documents • Makes suggestions (“you may be interested in this post”)
Sway • What is it? • Creates presentations • No, it’s not PowerPoint • PowerPoint is intended for audiences and driven by a presenter • Sway is more interactive and web-based • Used more heavily in education
Delve • What is it? • Big Data analytics focused on content and connections within an organization • A dashboard of likely relevant content • Ordered by relevance • Monitors activity and connections to derive relevance • With Delve, information finds you versus you having to find information
O365 Key Considerations: Governance Program • It Takes a Village: • Establish Roles & Responsibilities (IT, Legal, Compliance, Security/Privacy, etc.) • End-user focus groups • Develop a governance framework • Resource: • Summary Table listing primary O365 applications (Handout)
Develop Policies and Procedures • Implementation of O365 should be packaged with policies to ensure roles, responsibilities and usage are understood. • Resource: • Recommended Policies - suggested policies to have available prior to the roll out of O365, as well as key components of each policy (Handout)
From here to there… • O365 Governance and Content Placement Strategy • Unstructured Data Optimization and Migration Strategy • Change Management
